ZYNDALEE'S new children : )

The black and white one is named <span style="color:#BF0000">Paka</span>, the Albino is <span style="color:#0000BF">LoLo</span> (red eyes). I just got them, but LoLo is already obsessed with me, he follows me everywhere whenever he can and all he wants to do is sit on my shoulder and snuggle or give me kisses, if anyone else tries to kiss him he hisses like a cat! Sometimes when I'm talking he dives into my mouth, IDK why, and I'm trying to get him over that. xD Dioji is a sweetheart, he's a chubby little thing, short and fat, whenever I put any of them on the floor to explore they crawl back up my leg and into my lap, they never want to get more then two feet away from me, but they love going for rides and going places with me.<br><br> <span style="font-weight:bold">If anyone could tell me how old you think my rats are it would be greatly appreciated, as the store had no idea (go figure).</span> OR If you could give me a web reference that would be ok too.<br><br>LoLo is a medium rat, and by what I've seen, they get huge. Dioji is a small, so he'll stay tiny, they already look like David and Goliath next to eachother, one tiny and the other big. Both of them come when called and use a little litter box that's in their cage, the only problem is that they're like messy little children, whenever I give them a new toy they rip it up and scatter the pieces everywhere, then they jump around and skip excitedly and hide when I see the mess they made, it really looks like they know they're in trouble and run away giggling like little boys, rats are so intelligent! Any information any of you could give me would be greatly appreciated, I'm a first time owner. : )<br><br><img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/2hov71x.jpg"; alt="http://i51.tinypic.com/2hov71x.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/6fv2fd.jpg"; alt="http://i55.tinypic.com/6fv2fd.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/244b87b.jpg"; alt="http://i53.tinypic.com/244b87b.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/k4h0eg.jpg"; alt="http://i55.tinypic.com/k4h0eg.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/euk376.jpg"; alt="http://i56.tinypic.com/euk376.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i54.tinypic.com/2qsnmup.jpg"; alt="http://i54.tinypic.com/2qsnmup.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/znwxw8.jpg"; alt="http://i56.tinypic.com/znwxw8.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/28gwfna.jpg"; alt="http://i56.tinypic.com/28gwfna.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br>P.S. The pictures aren't great, but it really isn't easy to get pictures of two excited little children that wont stay still! If you need better ones to judge the age or something, I can maybe try again.
Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD

  • Can't believe i'm saying this, but:<br><br>What beautiful rats!
  • Zynny, they are adorable!!!!!! I know you said you wanted info, being a first time owner and all, I don't want to spam your thread, so if you'd like to, PM me and I can give you some info.....Holy crap that was one major run-on sentence,lol

  • I sometimes walk into pet stores with LoLo on my shoulders, and the main thing that most of the people say is "EW, she has a rat!". I just reply,"No ****! This IS a pet store!! They sell rats here idiots!"<br><br>Why is it that I can walk into a pet store with my rats and get criticized, but when I walk into a grocery store with them (yes, a place where they sell FOOD), People say "Aww!! Can we pet him!" Even the workers stop and say hi, they just tell me not to drop him on the floor so he doesn't escape.<br><br>And my rats are potty trained anyway, when they have got to go they spin in circles, they never have accidents when being held. So I dont worry about that part when I take them with me.<br><br>ANYWHO, there's my little rant, and thank you finny winny!
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • Oh, thank you too RockStar! I'll be PMing you now, I have so many questions too!

    <br><br>Lucky! One of my rats, Twilight, used to be like that, but now that she's getting older, it seems like she just can't hold it any longer, and pees all over my shoulder >.<

  • OhMaGosh, when I first got them I was thinking about you because I remembered that all your ratties were named after Twilight Characters, I was at first going to name my rats Emmett and Jake, but I felt like a thiefs because that's YOUR theme. heehee.
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • LOL I wouldn't have minded. Ugh, I still need a Bella...lol

  • I heard that female rats are more independent and like to run around and explore more then they like to sit and cuddle with you, which is why I got males, because I heard males were lazy and more snuggly. I heard all of this from the pet store guy though, so I'm not sure if such information is correct. xD <br><br>Did you get your rats from a breeder? I love Esme, she's so pretty.
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • I've had both genders, and I'll only have females from now on. To me, the females are more cuddly, the males can get a little nippy at times. It also depends on the rat too.<br><br>Yep, mine are all from a trusted breeder/friend. Aw thank you! I love both of my girls, but Esme is special,lol
    5x236g.jpg
  • OH MY GOSH!!! They are adorable!!! Me steals them! Lol, thats why i love you. I wsould make fun of them though! "eww a rat!" Drops to the floor like a booms about to explode "where, because this is only a pet store that they sell rats at!" Throws fake stuffed rat at person and lols to death as they run away screaming!

  • @RockStar- hopefully I can get a female sometime. Do you breed them yourself, or would you ever?<br><br>@Emme- LoLo is vicious rat, I throw him and he starts tearing crap up. :shock:
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • In the past I bred one litter, and I'll never do it again. Long, bloody story that I dont think anybody wants to hear.
    5x236g.jpg
  • She ate the babies didn't she??<br><br>When I bred hamsters, Little Jefferey my star female ate ONE baby, out of three litters she ate just ONE. <br><br>And I completely stopped breeding after that.
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • Um, partially correct. She started eating it, before it had died, and well I won't get into the graphic details
    5x236g.jpg
  • Oh.. poor little thing. I'm sorry. <br>Little Jeffrey shoved a live baby in to her food pouch once. I had to flip her over and push on her food pouch to force the baby out. It lived, but I had to hande raise it after that because she was going to eat it. Rodents... such creepy little bastardz sometimes. LOL.
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • =O I would've freaked out if that happened, to the point of not knowing what to do.<br><br>

  • Dioji decided he wants to be boss today, and he tried to take on LoLo... haha... that didn;t work out to well for him. LoLo got sdo mad that his authority was being challenged that I had to seperate the two of them before Dio got majorly hurt... silly little ratties..
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • My two male rats used to do that too. It got really bad one time, that I had to seperate them forever =/
    5x236g.jpg
  • That sucks. I put them back together and they're best friends now, with LoLo still being boss.
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • lol Well thats good to hear. =D
    5x236g.jpg
  • Have I told you that I love your banner???
    Goodbye old VP, hello disaster. xD
  • Oh, Zynny! Your rats are beautiful! I especially love LoLo! (Albino's have a special place in my heart lol)
    Is quiting due to no time, anyone can contact me at my nonpersonal email coconaur@aol.com
  • Yesh!! >.< LoLo is psecial to me to. He loves me and gives me kisses, while Dioji runs around and steals my food/bites my ears. He can't seem to figure out that my ear is aprt of me and not food. o.o
